Résumé

English writer Richard Lovat Somers and his German wife Harriet visit New South Wales, Australia, in the early 1920s. The couple gets entangled in the current post-war political climate in an unfamiliar country.They are courted by the various political parties from the socialists to the nationalist quasi-fascist party. Unable to embrace either they leave for America."Kangaroo" is a semi-autobiographical tale loosely based on D.H. Lawrence's visit to Australia with his wife Frieda in 1922. The novel reflects Lawrence's own experiences during World War I. It is an exploration of political ideas at an immensely personal level. David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English novelist, poet and playwright. Regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, he published many novels and poetry volumes during his lifetime. His works include "Sons and Lovers", "The Rainbow" and "Women in Love". He is best known for his infamous "Lady Chatterley’s Lover" a graphic and highly sexual novel published in Italy in 1928. It was banned in the United States until 1959 and in England until 1960.

Issu d'une famille de mineurs, D.H. Lawrence naît en 1885 à Eastwood, dans le Nottinghamshire. Après l'interdiction par la censure de L'arc-en-ciel (1915), il quitte l'Angleterre, espérant échapper ainsi au conformisme britannique. En 1914 il épouse Frieda von Richthofen, et le couple fait un long voyage en Australie, au Mexique et au Nouveau-Mexique. De retour en Europe, Lawrence reprend ses voyages, de ville en ville, et écrit successivement Lady Chatterley et l'homme des bois , puis sa version définitive. L'amant de Lady Chatterley , dont la publication ne sera autorisée en Angleterre qu'en 1960. Il est mort à Vence en 1930.
